Abstract
Water pollution is a worldwide environmental and health problem that requires the development of sustainable, efficient, and accessible technologies. Nanotechnology is a very attractive alternative in environmental remediation processes due to the multiple properties that are conferred on a material when it is at the nanometric scale. This present review focuses on the understanding of the structure-physicochemical properties-performance relationships of silver nanoparticles, with the objective of guiding the selection of physicochemical properties that promote greater performance and are key factors in their use as antibacterial agents, surface modifiers, colorimetric sensors, signal amplifiers, and plasmonic photocatalysts. Silver nanoparticles with a size of less than 10 nm, morphology with a high percentage of reactive facets {111}, and positive surface charge improve the interaction of the nanoparticles with bacterial cells and induce a greater antibacterial effect. Adsorbent materials functionalized with an optimal concentration of silver nanoparticles increase their contact area and enhance adsorbent capacity. The use of stabilizing agents in silver nanoparticles promotes selective adsorption of contaminants by modifying the surface charge and type of active sites in an adsorbent material, in addition to inducing selective complexation and providing stability in their use as colorimetric sensors. Silver nanoparticles with complex morphologies allow the formation of hot spots or chemical or electromagnetic bonds between substrate and analyte, promoting a greater amplification factor. Controlled doping with nanoparticles in photocatalytic materials produces improvements in their electronic structural properties, promotes changes in charge transfer and bandgap, and improves and expands their photocatalytic properties. Silver nanoparticles have potential use as a tool in water remediation, where by selecting appropriate physicochemical properties for each application, their performance and efficiency are improved.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of silver nanoparticles as a colorimetric sensor for hydrogen peroxide. RSC Adv 2024; 14:6815-6822. [PMID: 38405073 PMCID: PMC10885683 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra07775f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
To consider silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a colorimetric sensor for H2O2 we require investigation of the effects of the homogeneity of the nanoparticle size and morphology on the sensor parameters. Uniformly-sized Ag nanoparticles with diameters of ∼18.8 ± 2.8 nm were produced using microwave irradiation (AgNP1) but non-uniform particles with diameters of ∼71.2 ± 19.4 nm (AgNP2) were formed without microwave irradiation. Microwave synthesis produced AgNP1 with superiority in terms of repeatability, selectivity and sensor stability for up to eight months of storage over AgNP2. AgNP1 exhibited higher sensitivity and detection limits in the working range of 0.01-40000 μM as compared to AgNP2. The application of the AgNP sensor to milk samples provided recovery values of 99.09-100.56% for AgNP1 and 98.18-101.90% for AgNP2. Microwave irradiation resulted in strong and uniform PVP-Ag interactions for isotropic growth into small nanoparticles. Size and morphology uniformity determined the characteristics of the AgNP sensor that can be applied for H2O2 detection in a wide range of concentrations and real-time evaluation, with the potential for industrial applications.

Zhang J, Fu X, Yan C, Wang G. The Morphology Dependent Interaction between Silver Nanoparticles and Bovine Serum Albumin. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5821. [PMID: 37687517 PMCID: PMC10488934 DOI: 10.3390/ma16175821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
Biological applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) depend on the covalently attached or adsorbed proteins. A series of biological effects of AgNPs within cells are determined by the size, shape, aspect ratio, surface charge, and modifiers. Herein, the morphology dependent interaction between AgNPs and protein was investigated. AgNPs with three different morphologies, such as silver nanospheres, silver nanorods, and silver nanotriangles, were employed to investigate the morphological effect on the interaction with a model protein: bovine serum albumin (BSA). The adsorptive interactions between BSA and the AgNPs were probed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and circular dichroism (CD) techniques. The results revealed that the particle size, shape, and dispersion of the three types of AgNPs markedly influence the interaction with BSA. Silver nanospheres and nanorods were capsulated by protein coronas, which led to slightly enlarged outer size. The silver nanotriangles evolved gradually into nanodisks in the presence of BSA. Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the static quenching the fluorescence emission of BSA by the three AgNPs. The FTIR and CD results suggested that the AgNPs with different morphologies had different effects on the secondary structure of BSA. The silver nanospheres and silver nanorods induced more pronounced structural changes than silver nanotriangles. These results suggest that the formation of a protein corona and the aggregation behaviors of AgNPs are markedly determined by their inherent morphologies.

Structurally engineered ion-receptor probe immobilized porous polymer platform as reusable solid-state chromogenic sensor for the ultra-trace sensing and recovery of mercury ions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 454:131431. [PMID: 37099907 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
This study reports an efficacious solid-state optical sensor through the synergistic coalescences of an original chromoionophoric probe and a structurally engineered porous polymer monolith for the selective and sensitive colorimetric spotting of ultra-trace toxic mercury ions. The unique properties of the bimodal macro-/meso-pore structured polymer, i.e., poly(AAm-co-EGDMA) monolith, offer voluminous and uniform anchoring of probe molecules, i.e., (Z)-N-phenyl-2-(quinoline-4-yl-methylene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (PQMHC). The structure/surface features of the sensory system, i.e., surface area, pore dimensions, monolith framework, elemental mapping, and phase composition, were examined by p-XRD, XPS, FT-IR, HR-TEM-SAED, FE-SEM-EDAX, and BET/BJH analysis. The sensor's ion-capturing ability was established through naked eye color transition and UV-Vis-DRS response. The sensor exhibits a strong binding affinity for Hg2+, with a linear signal response in the concentration range of 0-200 μg/L (r2 >0.999), with a detection limit of 0.33 μg/L. The analytical parameters were optimized to facilitate pH-dependent visual sensing of ultra-trace Hg2+ in ≤ 30 s. The sensor exhibits high chemical/physical stability characteristics, with reliable data reproducibility (RSD ≤1.94 %), while testing with natural/synthetic water and cigarette samples. The proposed work offers a cost-effective and reusable naked-eye sensory system for the selective sensing of ultra-trace Hg2+, with potential prospects of commercialization considering their simplicity, viability, and reliability.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) are crucial salivary biomarkers for the diagnosis of periodontal disease that harms the periodontal tissue along with tooth loss. However, there has been no way of sensitive and portable detection of both biomarkers in saliva with multivariate signal readout. In this work, we design the multicolorimetric ALP and IL-1β sensing platform based on geometrical transformation of silver nanoplate transducer. By utilizing enzymatic activity of ALP that dephosphorylates p-aminophenol phosphate (p-APP) to p-aminophenol (p-AP), localized surface plasmon resonance properties of silver nanoplate vary with ALP and show a distinct color change from blue to yellow based on a controlled seed transformation from triangular to hexagonal, rounded pentagonal, and spherical shape. The multicolor sensor shows an ALP detection range of 0-25 U/L with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0011 U/L, which is the lowest range of LOD demonstrated to date for state-of-the-art ALP sensor. Furthermore, we integrate the sensor with the conventional ELISA to detect IL-1β for multicolor signaling and it exhibits a linear detection range of 0-250 pg/mL and an LOD of 0.066 pg/mL, which is 2 orders of magnitude lower than the monochromic conventional ELISA (LOD of 3.8 pg/mL). The ALP multicolor sensor shows high selectivity with a recovery of 100.9% in real human saliva proving its reliability and suitability for the readily accessible periodontal diagnosis with multivariate signal readout.

Abstract
Detection of heavy metal ions has drawn significant attention in environmental and food area due to their threats to the human health and ecosystem. Colorimetry is one of the most frequently-used methods for the detection of heavy metal ions owing to its simplicity, easy operation and rapid on-site detection. The development of chromogenic materials and their sensing mechanisms are the key research direction in the area of colorimetric method. Since each chromogenic material has their unique optical and chemical properties, they have totally different colorimetric sensing mechanisms. This review focuses on the chromogenic materials and their sensing strategies for the colorimetric detection of heavy metal ions. We divide the chromogenic materials into three types, including organic materials, inorganic materials, and other materials. As for each type of chromogenic material, we discuss their detailed sensing strategies, sensing performance, and real sample applications. Moreover, current challenges and perspectives related to the colorimetry of heavy metal ions are also discussed in this review. The aim of this review is to help readers to better understand the principles of colorimetric methods for heavy metal ions and push the development of rapid detection of heavy metal ions.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide a simple and efficient photoassisted approach to synthesize silver nanoparticles, and to elucidate the role of the key factors (synthesis parameters, such as the concentration of TSC, irradiation time, and UV intensity) that play a major role in the photochemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles using TSC, both as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Concomitantly, we aim to provide an easy way to evaluate the particle size based on Mie theory. One of the key advantages of this method is that the synthesis can be "activated" whenever or wherever silver nanoparticles are needed, by premixing the reactants and irradiating the final solution with UV radiation. UV irradiance was determined by using Keitz's theory. This argument has been verified by premixing the reagents and deposited them in an enclosed space (away from sunlight) at 25 °C, then checking them for three days. Nothing happened, unless the sample was directly irradiated by UV light. Further, obtained materials were monitored for 390 days and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, UV-VIS, and transmission electron microscopy.

Abstract
The current work presents a perspective to obliterate toxic Hg(II) from an aqueous environment, a strategic environmental remediation and decontamination measure. We report a simple, efficient, and reusable solid-state visual sensing strategy for the selective detection and quantitative recovery of ultratrace Hg(II). The capture of Hg(II) ions was effectuated using a macro-/mesoporous polymer monolith uniformly decorated with an azo-based chromophoric ion receptor, i.e., 7-((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)diazenyl)quinolin-8-ol (BIDQ). The porous polymer template was synthesized through free radical polymerization of gylcidylmethacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, leading to distinct structural and surface properties that offer exclusive solid-state colorimetric selectivity for Hg(II) upon restricted spatial dispersion of the ion receptor. The sensor provides a broad linear response range of 1-200 μg/L, with an outstanding detection limit of 0.2 μg/L for Hg(II) ions, thus effectuating reliable and reproducible sensing. Optimizing analytical parameters such as solution pH, receptor concentration, sensor quantity, kinetics, temperature, and matrix interference proved to be promising for the real-time monitoring of toxic mercury ions from aqueous/industrial systems, with maximum response in the pH range of 7.5-8.0, with a response time of ≤80 s. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to study the electronic structure of BIDQ upon chelating with Hg(II) ions, using 6-311G and LAND2Z basis sets.

Abstract
Recent publications are reviewed concerning the development of sensors for the determination of mercury in drinking water, based on spectroscopic methodologies. A critical analysis is made of the specific details and figures of merit of the developed protocols. Special emphasis is directed to the validation and applicability to real samples in the usual concentration range of mercury, considering the maximum allowed limits in drinking water established by international regulations. It was found that while most publications describe in detail the synthesis, structure, and physicochemical properties of the sensing phases, they do not follow the state of the art in the analytical developments. Recommendations are provided regarding the proper method development and validation, including the setting of the calibration concentration range, the correct estimation of the limits of detection and quantitation, the concentration levels to be set for producing spiked water samples, the number of real samples for adequate validation, the comparison of the developed method with a reference technique, and other analytical features which should be followed.

Abstract
In this study, a simple, one-pot, and eco-friendly biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was accomplished with the use of aqueous leaves extract of Cestrum nocturnum L.(AECN). Different techniques like ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning area electron diffraction were used to investigate the optical, operational, and physical properties of the green synthesized AECN-AgNPs.The AECN-AgNPs were further used for the detection of Hg2+ by UV-Vis and electrochemical methods. The disintegration of the AECN-AgNPs solution caused the formation of an Ag-Hg amalgam, which caused discoloration of the solution. Sensing performance for a variety of metals such as Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu 2+, Fe3+, Zn2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, As3+, and Mn2+ at 10-mM concentrations was measured in order to determine the selectivity of the sensor towards the Hg2+. For the electrochemical determination of 2 + Hg2+ , AECN-AgNPs were immobilized on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode, and the resulting modified electrode (GC/AECN-AgNPs) was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. This phenomenon is advantageously used for the sensitive determination of trace level Hg2+. GC/AECN-AgNPs demonstrated a linear calibration range of 100 nM to 10 μM and a limit of detection of 21 nM for Hg2+ determination.

Abstract
A facile synthetic methodology for the deposition of different concentrations of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) on α-Ni(OH)2 sheets (α-Ni1(OH)2-Ag0.5, α-Ni1(OH)2-Ag1, α-Ni1(OH)2-Ag2, and α-Ni1(OH)2-Ag3) is reported using N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]diethylenetriamine (TPDT) silane. The TPDT aminosilane facilitates the formation of α-Ni(OH)2 sheets and reduces the Ag+ precursor to AgNPs, leading to the deposition of AgNPs on α-Ni(OH)2 sheets. UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, transmission microscopy analyses, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to characterize the prepared α-Ni1(OH)2-Ag0.5-3 composite materials. High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping images and scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping images were recorded to understand the α-Ni1(OH)2-Ag composite sheet materials. The optical sensing property of α-Ni1(OH)2-Ag0.5-3 composite materials toward toxic Hg2+ ions were investigated using a UV-vis absorption spectroscopy technique. The α-Ni1(OH)2-Ag2 composite material showed selective sensing behavior.

Abstract
The detection and discrimination of organic acids (OAs) is of great importance in the early diagnosis of specific diseases. In this study, we established an effective visual sensor array for the identification of OA. This is the first time, to our best knowledge, that metal ions were used to regulate the etching of silver triangular nanoprisms (AgTNPs) in an OA discrimination sensor array. The sensor array was based on the oxidation etching of AgTNPs by three metal ions (Mn2+, Pb2+, and Cr3+) and accelerated etching of AgTNPs by OA. The introduction of metal ions alone led to a slight wavelength shift of the AgTNPs colloid solution, signifying the incomplete etching of the AgTNPs. Nevertheless, when metal ions and OA were introduced simultaneously to the solution, a significant blueshift of the localized surface plasmon resonance peak was detected, and a color change of the AgTNPs was observed, which were the consequences of morphological transitions of the AgTNPs. The addition of different OA accelerated AgTNPs etching in varying degrees, generating diverse colorimetric response patterns (i.e., RGB variations) as "fingerprints" associated with each specific organic acid. Pattern recognition algorithms and neural network simulation were employed to further data analysis, indicating the outstanding discrimination capability of the provided array for eight OA at the 33 µM level. Moreover, excellent results of selective experiments as well as real samples tests demonstrate that our proposed method possesses great potential for practical applications.

Abstract
Water quality monitoring has become more critical in recent years to ensure the availability of clean and safe water from natural aquifers and to understand the evolution of water contaminants across time and space. The conventional water monitoring techniques comprise of sample collection, preservation, preparation, tailed by laboratory testing and analysis with cumbersome wet chemical routes and expensive instrumentation. Despite the high accuracy of these methods, the high testing costs, laborious procedures, and maintenance associated with them don't make them lucrative for end end-users and field testing. As the participation of ultimate stakeholders, that is, common man for water quality and quantity can play a pivotal role in ensuring the sustainability of our aquifers, thus it is essential to develop and deploy portable and user-friendly technical systems for monitoring water sources in real-time or on-site. The present review emphasizes here on possible approaches including optical (absorbance, fluorescence, colorimetric, X-ray fluorescence, chemiluminescence), electrochemical (ASV, CSV, CV, EIS, and chronoamperometry), electrical, biological, and surface-sensing (SPR and SERS), as candidates for developing such platforms. The existing developments, their success, and bottlenecks are discussed in terms of various attributes of water to escalate the essentiality of water quality devices development meeting ASSURED criterion for societal usage. These platforms are also analyzed in terms of their market potential, advancements required from material science aspects, and possible integration with IoT solutions in alignment with Industry 4.0 for environmental application.

Abstract
Excretion of heavy metals especially mercury (Hg2+) from the industries into the environment becomes a major global problem. In this context, mercury is a highly dangerous metal which poses serious impact on human health. In the present study, acridine- (ACR-) based silver nanoparticles (ACR-AgNPs) were prepared and employed as a nanosensor for effective detection and quantification of Hg2+ in tap water. Conjugation between ACR-based coating agent and silver was examined by UV-visible and FT-IR spectroscopy, while morphology and particle size were determined through atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, sensing behavior of nanosensor for metal ions was evaluated by mixing different metals such as Mn2+, Ni2+, Ba2+, Mg2+, Cr3+, Pb2+, Pd2+, Al3+, Sn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Cd2+, and Hg2+with ACR-AgNPs. Among all the added metal ions, only Hg2+resulted in significant quenching in the absorption intensity of ACR-AgNPs. The limit of detection of the ACR-AgNP-based nanosensor was found to be 1.65 μM in a wide pH range (1-14). The proposed mercury sensor worked efficiently in the presence of other interfering agents such as other metal ions. Therefore, the synthesized ACR-AgNPs have proved to be an efficient and robust nanosensor for quantitative detection of Hg2+ in real sample analysis such as tap water. The proposed method does not require expensive instrumentation and trained manpower.

Abstract
A plasmon-enhanced fluorimetric and colorimetric dual sensor was designed to detect mancozeb based on fluorescein (as a fluorimetric reporter) and AgNPRs (as a fluorescence enhancer and colorimetric reporter). The sensing mechanism was based on the shape transformation of AgNPRs due to etching and anti-etching effect of S2O32- and mancozeb. We observed that AgNPRs enhanced the fluorescence intensity of fluorescein around 4-fold. By adding S2O32-, the AgNPR florescence enhancement effect decreased, also SPR peak of AgNPRs blue-shifted and the solution color altered from blue to purple. The fluorescein fluorescence intensity and AgNPR's SPR peak position restored in the presence of mancozeb due to its protecting effect on AgNPRs. The restored fluorescence intensity and the SPR wavelength shift were proportional to the mancozeb concentration at the range of 0.005-0.1 and 0.005-0.075 mg/L, respectively. The developed sensor was successfully applied to measure mancozeb in fruit juice samples.

Abstract
Reliable, label-free, and ultraselective detection of Pb2+ and Ag+ ions is of paramount importance for toxicology assessment, human health, and environmental protection. Herein, we present a novel recyclable fluorometric aptasensor based on the Pb2+ and Ag+-induced structural change of the GC-rich ssDNA (guanine cytosine-rich single-strand DNA) and the differences in the fluorescence emission of acridine orange (AO) from random coil to highly stable G-quadruplex for the detection of Pb2+ and Ag+ ions. More interestingly, the construction and principle of the aptasensor explore that the GC-rich ssDNA and AO can be strongly adsorbed on the CaSnO3@PDANS surface through the π-π stacking, hydrogen-bonding, and metal coordination interactions, which exhibit high fluorescence quenching and robust holding of the GC-rich ssDNA. However, in the presence of Pb2+, the specific G-rich ssDNA segment could form a stable G-quadruplex via G4-Pb2+ coordination and capture of AO from the CaSnO3@PDANS surface resulting in fluorescence recovery (70% enhancement). The subsequent addition of Ag+ ion induces coupled cytosine base pairs in another segment of ssDNA to get folded into a duplex structure together with the G-quadruplex, which highly stabilizes the G-quadruplex resulting in the maximum recovery of AO emission (99% enhancement). When the Cys@Fe3O4Nps are added to the above solution, the sensing probe was restored by complexation between the Cys in the Cys@Fe3O4Nps and target metal ions, resulting in the fabrication of a highly sensitive recyclable Pb2+ and Ag+ assay with detection limits of 0.4 and 0.1 nM, respectively. Remarkably, the Cys@Fe3O4Nps can also be reused after washing with EDTA. The utility of the proposed approach has great potential for detecting the Pb2+ and Ag+ ions in environmental samples with interfering contaminants.

Abstract
Hg2+ ions are one of the highly poisonous heavy metal ions in the environment, so it is urgent to develop rapid and sensitive detection platforms for detecting Hg2+ ions. In this work, a novel electrochemical and photoelectrochemical dual-mode sensor (l-Cys-Cu2O) was successfully fabricated, and the sensor exhibits a satisfactory detection limit (0.2 and 0.01 nM) for the detection of Hg2+, which is far below the dangerous limit of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The linear ranges of dual-mode Hg2+ detections were 0.33-3.3 and 0.17-1.33 μM, respectively. Moreover, the sensor shows desirable stability, selectivity, and reproducibility for detecting Hg2+ ions. For river water samples, the recoveries of 96.6-101.4% (electrochemical data) and 93.0-105.6% (photoelectrochemical data) were obtained, indicating that the sensor could be successfully applied in the determination of Hg2+ ions in environmental water. Therefore, the designed sensor has a potential in the trace-level detection of Hg2+ ions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanoparticle synthesis is a very interesting area of research currently due to the wide applications of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles have a diameter ranging between 1 and 100 nm and they are used in different fields like electronics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotechnology, medicines, etc. Nanoparticles have gained the interest of researchers due to their large surface-to-volume ratio and their capability to interact effectively with other particles. Several different methods can be used for the production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) including chemical, physical, and biological. Out of all the methods, the biological method is considered the cleanest and safest as no toxic chemicals are used in the process. The biological method includes the use of bacteria, fungi, algae, and plant extract for the synthesis. Algal synthesis of AgNPs is especially interesting because of the high capacity of the algae to take in metals and reduce metal ions. Algae is a widely distributed organism and its availability is abundant; an added advantage is their growth under laboratory conditions. These organisms can help in large-scale production at a low cost. SHORT CONCLUSION This review article explains the different factors that should be considered for the effective synthesis of AgNPs using algae. Capping agents also affect the stability of nanoparticles. It also sheds light on the importance of capping agents in the synthesis of AgNPs. Alga-mediated synthesis of AgNPs along with the use of different capping agents can help in modulating the stability and size of the nanoparticles, thereby improving its cost-effectiveness and environment-friendly production.

Abstract
The analytical methods based on colorimetric detection of various analytes have attracted intensive interest. However, most of them display relatively low sensitivity. Herein, a novel colorimetric strategy based on iodide/metal-organic frameworks (MOF)-mediated amplification was developed for low-cost, naked-eye detection and quantification of H2O2,Cr2O72-, and H2S. Cu-MOFs could catalyze the oxidation of the colorless peroxidase substrate TMB to produce a blue product. The published researches mainly focused on the immobilization or integration of a macromolecule, such as natural enzymes, to enhance MOFs catalytic abilities. The use of small molecules to improve the catalytic performance of MOFs has rarely reported. Due to the negligible steric hindrance, iodide could easily be adsorbed in the framework pore of MOFs to conduct the synergic catalytic effect, and shows a high catalytic effect. As a result, the catalytic activity of Cu-MOFs was dramatically enhanced, and thus, the nanocatalyst could act as an amplifier system for target detection. The detection limits obtained by the amplified method are 25, 30, and 0.2 nM, respectively, which are about 200-fold lower than that of the unamplified colorimetric assays. The colorimetric strategy developed herein provides a novel system for the detection of low concentrations of analytes in complex biological samples.

Abstract
Quantitative characterization of Cr3+, an important element revealing human metabolism and biological environmental variation, is still difficult to achieve by conventional biochemical methods due to the lack of high-sensitivity, real-time techniques with rapid response detection. Using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), we construct an Au/Ag composite-based SERS nanoprobe for the quantitative characterization of Cr3+ content in solution, in which DL-mercaptosuccinic acid (DL-MSA) is employed for Raman signal enhancement, and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) is chosen as the Raman reporter. The achieved result demonstrates obvious advantages of the synthesized Au/Ag composite-based SERS nanoprobe in sensitivity and response speed. Importantly, this Au/Ag composite-based SERS nanoprobe might provide a new strategy for dynamic monitoring of Cr3+ content in human metabolism.

Abstract
In this work, a paper device consisted of a patterned paper chip, wicking pads, and a base was fabricated. On the paper chip, DNA–gold nanoparticles (DNA–AuNPs) were deposited and Hg2+ ions could be adsorbed by the DNA–AuNPs. The formed DNA–AuNP/Hg2+ nanozyme could catalyze the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)–H2O2 chromogenic reaction. Due to the wicking pads, a larger volume of Hg2+ sample could be applied to the paper device for Hg2+ detection and therefore the color response could be enhanced. The paper device achieved a cut-off value of 50 nM by the naked eye for Hg2+ under optimized conditions. Moreover, quantitative measurements could be implemented by using a desktop scanner and extracting grayscale values. A linear range of 50–2000 nM Hg2+ was obtained with a detection limit of 10 nM. In addition, the paper device could be applied in the detection of environmental water samples with high recoveries ranging from 85.7% to 105.6%. The paper-device-based colorimetric detection was low-cost, simple, and demonstrated high potential in real-sample applications.

Abstract
The colorimetric detection of bio-agent targets has attracted considerable attention in nanosensor designs. This platform provides an easy to use, real-time, and rapid sensing approach, as the color change can be easily distinguished by the naked eye. In this Letter, we propose a large scale compatible fabrication route to realize colorimetric optical nanosensors with a novel configuration. For this purpose, we design and fabricate a tightly packed disordered arrangement of Fabry-Perot based metal-insulator-metal nanoantennas with a resonance frequency at visible light wavelengths. In this design, the adsorbed bio-agent changes the effective refractive index of the cavity, and this causes a shift in the resonance wavelength. The experimental data show that the proposed design can have sensitivity values >70nm/refractive index unit. Unlike other optical sensing schemes that rely mainly on hot spot formation and field enhancement, this design has a large active area with relatively uniform patterns that make it a promising approach for low-level and reliable bio-detection.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) capped with both polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and iodine (I2) to act as efficient chemiluminescent coreactants for luminol. AuNPs synthesis was based on the direct chemical reduction of Au3+ with NaBH4 in the presence of PVP-I2 complex. The successful synthesis of PVP-I2@AuNPs was confirmed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-vis spectrophotometry. Chemiluminescence (CL) intensity of luminol was greatly enhanced, upon its chemical reaction with chemisorbed I2 on AuNPs surfaces owing to the excellent catalytic activity of AuNPs. The PVP-I2@AuNPs/luminol CL sensing system was successfully applied for determination of Hg2+ ions and the results displayed linearity in a wide range from 0.5 to 2000 nM and an ultrasensitive response to 1.0 nM Hg2+. The detection limit of Hg2+ ions was 0.1 nM, which was 100 times lower than the limit value (10 nM) defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in drinkable water. This ultrasensitive luminogenic system for Hg2+ detection also exhibited excellent selectivity among 13 types of metals, suggesting that the luminol/PVP-I2@AuNPs system is a promising sensor for real-time detection of Hg2+.

Abstract
Herein a semi-quantitative and quantitative method for rapid determination of water hardness was introduced. The method was based on color change of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the presence of real water samples. Carbon dots were prepared from mulberry in a hydrothermal procedure and used as reductant of silver ion for synthesis of AgNPs. A classification method based on the color change of AgNPs in the presence of different water samples was also founded. The analysis based of the proposed method was cheap and rapid. On site semi-quantitative determination of total hardness of water can be performed by the proposed method. A linear calibration model based on the color analysis of the images of AgNPs in the presence of water samples was constructed. The model was applicable for determination of total hardness of water in the range of 116-248 mg L-1 of calcium carbonate. A variety of real water samples were included in the calibration model. The calibration method can be used to predict total hardness of water in a critical range above the soft water and below the very hard water. The results were compared by the standard titrimetric method based on ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Prediction of total hardness of real water samples based on the color model was in most cases below 20%.

Abstract
Leishmania parasite identification is very important in clinical studies of leishmaniasis and its diagnosis. Though there are various clinical and epidemiological approaches to identifying Leishmania infantum, due to some limitations of the traditional methods, sensitive and specific techniques are needed and are in great demand. To achieve selective and rapid detection, a sensitive signal transducer with high surface area is necessary. In this work, a new paper sensor was fabricated using silver nanoprisms electrodeposited on the GQD conductive nano-ink (Ag NPr/GQDs nano-ink). A high surface area and suitable interface for anchoring biomolecules was achieved by electrodepositing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with cysteamine (AuNPs-CysA) on the surface of the paper sensor altered by Ag NPr/GQDs nano-ink. To prepare a sensitive and selective bio-device for the recognition of Leishmania in human plasma specimens, a DNA-thiol probe was stabilized on the surface of the platform. Hybridization of DNA was evaluated by chronoamperometry (ChA). The engineered DNA-based paper biosensor showed high sensitivity and selectivity for the identification of Leishmania genomic DNA. Under optimum circumstances, a linear range was obtained using photographic paper from 1 μM to 1 zM and an ivory sheet from 1 nM to 1 zM. The lower limits of quantitation (LLOQ) on the photographic paper and ivory sheet were 1 zM. In addition, the designed DNA-based biosensor revealed well-defined performance in the recognition of mismatched sequences (single base, two base and three base mismatches) and selectivity.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized through the coprecipitation method on the graphene oxide anchored pencil lead as a substrate for the first time and applied as an efficient sorbent for pseudo stir bar sorptive extraction of nabumetone. The extracted analyte was determined by a novel spectrophotometric method based on the aggregation of silicate sol-gel stabilized silver nanoparticles in the presence of the analyte. The synthesized polymer was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Optimization of important parameters affecting the extraction efficiency was done using central composite design whereas the spectrophotometric method was optimized via one at a time variable. Under the optimal conditions, the calibration curve exhibited linearity in the concentration range of 1.5-20.0 μg L-1. A limit of detection of 0.20 μg L-1, an enhancement factor of 393 and relative standard deviations (at 10 μg L-1, n = 6) of 4.6% and 8.1% for intra- and inter-day analysis were obtained. The developed procedure was successfully utilized for the quantification of traces of nabumetone in tap water and biological samples with the complex matrix including human urine and serum.

Abstract
Nowadays, analytical systems based on silver triangular nanoplates (AgTNPs) have been shown as good prospects for chemical sensing. However, they still remain relatively poorly studied as colorimetric probes for sensing various classes of compounds. This study shows that these nanoparticles are capable of being oxidized by peroxides, including both hydrogen peroxide and its organic derivatives. The oxidation was found to result in a decrease in the AgTNPs' local surface plasmon resonance band intensity at 620 nm. This was proposed for peroxide-sensitive spectrophotometric determination. Five peroxides differing in their structure and number of functional groups were tested. Three of them easily oxidized AgTNPs. The effects of a structure of analytes and main exterior factors on the oxidation are discussed. The detection limits of peroxides in the selected conditions increased in the series peracetic acid < hydrogen peroxide < tert-butyl hydroperoxide, coming to 0.08, 1.6 and 24 μmol L-1, respectively. tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate and di-tert-butyl peroxide were found to have no effect on the spectral characteristics of AgTNPs. By the example of hydrogen peroxide, it was found that the determination does not interfere with 100-4000-fold quantities of common inorganic ions. The proposed approach was successfully applied to the analysis of drugs, cosmetics and model mixtures.

Abstract
We demonstrate a simple strategy to concoct a competent solid-state opto-chemosensor for the selective and sensitive visual detection of Hg2+ ions. The sensor fabrication involves the utilization of indigenously prepared mesoporous silica and polymer monoliths as probe anchoring templates and 8-hydroxy-7-(4-n-butylphenylazo) quinoline (HBPQ) as the chromo-ionophoric probe for Hg2+ sensing. Both the monoliths are designed with discrete structural and morphological features to serve as efficient host templates. The structural and surface features of the monoliths are characterized using p-XRD, TEM, SEM, SAED, EDAX, XPS, and N2 isotherm analysis. The synergetic features of monolith structural hierarchy along with the probe's selective chelating ability enable rapid signal response and remarkable ion selectivity for Hg2+. The solid-state sensors evince a linear signal response from 0.6 to 150 μg/L for Hg2+ recognition, with superior data authenticity and replication that is preceded by an RSD value of ≤ 2.25% when tested with real water samples.Graphical abstract Mesoporous silica and polymer monolith architects hosting HBPQ probe molecules demonstrate an excellent visual sensing of ultra-trace (μg/L) Hg2+ in various water samples with a striking color transition from light orange to dark red upon complexation of probe with Hg2+. The solid-state sensors are Hg2+ ion selective, super-responsive, real-time applicable, and also reusable.

Abstract
Although luminescence spectroscopy has been a promising sensing technology with widespread applications in point-of-care diagnostics and chem-bio detection, it fundamentally suffers from low signal collection efficiency, considerable background noise, poor photostability, and intrinsic omnidirectional emission properties. In this regard, surface plasmon-coupled emission, a versatile plasmon-enhanced detection platform with >50% signal collection efficiency, high directionality, and polarization has previously been explored to amplify the limit of detection of desired analytes. However, high Ohmic loss in metal-dependent plasmonic platforms has remained an inevitable challenge. Here, we develop a hybrid nanocavity interface on a template-free and loss-less photonic crystal-coupled emission (PCCE) platform by the quintessential integration of high refractive index dielectric Nd2O3 "Huygens sources" and sharp-edged silver nanoprisms (NPrs). While efficient forward light scattering characteristics of Nd2O3 nanorods (NRs) present 460-fold emission enhancements in PCCE, the tunable localized plasmon resonances of NPrs display high electromagnetic field confinement at sharp nanotips and protrusions, boosting the enhancements 947-fold. The judicious use of silver NPr (AgNPr) metal-Nd2O3 dielectric hybrid resonances in conjugation with surface-trapped Bloch surface waves of the one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPhC) displayed unprecedented >1300-fold enhancements. The experimental results are validated by excellent correlations with numerical calculations. The multifold hotspots generated by zero and nonzero nanogaps between the coassembly of NPrs, NRs, and 1DPhCs are used for (i) determination of hyper and hypothyroidism levels through monitoring the concentration of iodide (I-) ions and (ii) single-molecule detection (zeptomolar) of the stress hormone, cortisol, through the synthesized cortisol-rhodamine B conjugate obtained using a simple esterification reaction.

Abstract
Though it has not been shown to deliver any biological importance, mercuric(II) ion (Hg2+) is a deleterious cation which poses grievous effects to the human body and/or the ecosystem, hence, the need for its sensitive and selective monitoring in both environmental and biological systems. Over the years, there has been a great deal of work in the use of fluorescent, colourimetric, and/or ratiometric probes for Hg2+ recognition. Essentially, the purpose of this review article is to give an overview of the advances made in the constructions of such probes based on the works reported in the period from 2011 to 2019. Discussion in this review work has been tailored to the kinds of fluorophore scaffolds used for the constructions of the probes reported. Selected examples of probes under each fluorophore subcategory were discussed with mentions of the typically determined parameters in an analytical sensing operation, including modulation in fluorescence intensity, optimal pH, detection limit, and association constant. The environmental and biological application ends of the probes were also touched where necessary. Important generalisations and conclusions were given at the end of the review. This review article highlights 196 references.

Abstract
This review provides an up-to-date overview on silver nanoparticles-based materials suitable as optical sensors for water pollutants. The topic is really hot considering the implications for human health and environment due to water pollutants. In fact, the pollutants present in the water disturb the spontaneity of life-related mechanisms, such as the synthesis of cellular constituents and the transport of nutrients into cells, and this causes long / short-term diseases. For this reason, research continuously tends to develop always innovative, selective and efficient processes / technologies to remove pollutants from water. In this paper we will report on the silver nanoparticles synthesis, paying attention to the stabilizers and mostly used ligands, to the characterizations, to the properties and applications as colorimetric sensors for water pollutants. As water pollutants our attention will be focused on several heavy metals ions, such as Hg(II), Ni(II),Cu(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Cr(III/V) Co(II) Cd(II), Pb(II), due to their dangerous effects on human health. In addition, several systems based on silver nanoparticles employed as pesticides colorimetric sensors in water will be also discussed. All of this with the aim to provide to readers a guide about recent advanced silver nanomaterials, used as colorimetric sensors in water.

Several chromatographic and spectroscopic methods are available for the detection of toxic mercury (Hg2+) in water; however simple, rapid, inexpensive, and sensitive methods are still needed. In this chapter, we describe a facile, very sensitive, and rapid method for the colorimetric detection of Hg2+ in water with the detection limit of 2.9 nM. This simple procedure is based on the lysine-induced aggregation of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the presence of Hg2+ ions.

Abstract
In this work, the self-assembly behavior of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the surface of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in solution has been studied by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence probe techniques, ζ potentiometric methods, transmission electron microscopy, etc. The UV-vis spectra show that the color with the increase of CTAB for the mixture containing CTAB and a given amount of AuNPs changes from red to blue and then to red. The absolute value of ζ potential corresponding to this color change decreases initially and then increases. Specially, the reversible color change, from red to blue and then to red, could be observed only in the case of a gradual addition of a AuNP solution to a CTAB solution; however, this reversible change is not suitable for the mixture formed in a reverse order of mixing. The results from pyrene used as the fluorescence probe indicate that the features in the fluorescence spectrum (including fluorescence quenching, I 1/I 3, and the excimer) well correspond to those from the UV-vis spectrum mentioned above. Based on the experimental results, the mechanism of the assembly structure variation of CTAB on the surface of negatively charged AuNPs was proposed. For a given amount of AuNPs, the assembly structure of CTAB on the surface of AuNPs undergoes the transformation from a monolayer to a bilayer with the increase of CTAB. In the case of the concentration of CTAB far beyond its critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the higher ratio of CTAB and AuNPs, there is a possibility of the formation of an extra micellar structure only after the formation of a double-layer structure.

Selective interaction between phytomediated anionic silver nanoparticles and mercury leading to amalgam formation enables highly sensitive, colorimetric and memristor-based detection of mercury. Sci Rep 2020; 10:2037. [PMID: 32029814 PMCID: PMC7005151 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-58844-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2019] [Accepted: 01/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Presently, nanotechnology is being foreseen to play an important role in developing analytical assays for the detection of pollutants like mercury (Hg2+). In this study, Kokum fruit mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were differentially centrifuged to prepare anionic, monodispersed AgNPs to develop a highly sensitive, colorimetric and memristor-based assay for detection of Hg2+ in water samples. The investigation of the highly selective reaction between AgNPs and Hg2+ using HAADF-STEM images and EDS spectrum indicated the amalgam formation through etching and under potential deposition which resulted in a visible color change from brown to colorless, change in SPR intensity and also change in memristive switching like property of AgNPs. The developed colorimetric assay detected Hg2+ with a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.2 ppb and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 18.9 ppb and, quantitatively recovered Hg2+ with good accuracy and precision (RSD < 2%). Further, the test of memristive switching like property of AgNPs demonstrated frequency-dependent shrinkage of I–V hysteresis loop indicating memristive switching like property. The test of the sensitivity of Hg2+ detection was estimated to be 8.7 ppb as the LOD and 26.4 ppb as LOQ. Like the colorimetric assay, the memristor-based assay also recovered Hg2+ with good accuracy and precision.
